    Sci-Fi Dr Who/Torchwood

    Howay!

    Ahm a huge fan o both series and just saw new Torchwood series, Miracle Day, starts UK on July 14th, hurray! Captain Jack is coming back, fantastic!

    The premise sounds great and is being backed by Starz so will have a bigger-than-BBC budget! Am glad Russell T has stuck with a series plotline, a-la Children, rather than monster of the week episodes.

    Basically, ah cannae wait!

    So, any Who/Torchwood fans out there?

    Just watched the 1st episode, really liked it, glad its back, pissed i gotta wait for more..

    10 episodes! Cannae wait tae see where it goes! Like whats happenin tae Capt Jack (mainly because Russell T aint gonna screw around with Jacks 'Future')

    Its a measure to John Barrowman's performance of Jack, fantastic character!

    agree with most of the above quote. love that its back, dislike waiting for the next episode, wasn’t really impressed with it.

    it just didn’t have the 'old' torchwood about it, kinda hard to explain or put my finger on what i felt was missing but was slower than the old ones used to be, tho this could just be due to them laying down the story for the coming shows.

    Could also be down to it being mostly made in the US. They do it different over there so could just be down to that factor.

    I’ll wait till its a few more episodes in before i decide if i love it or hate it.


    Ohh yeah, loving the new season of Dr Who too. Think matt smith is doing an awesome job of it. i didn’t watch any of David Tenants last season as i cant stand Katherine Tate

    Im with yi, it does have a differant feel to the BBC programme and yes it does feel very 'Americanised' but its not a bad thing I think, its looks and feels more like a movie. I love the programme and this format could get the programme more viewers, more viewers means more series which is what I want!

    Still wish they hadnae killed Ianto..

    As for the Dr Who, i hate Tate but by the end of the run she was startin tae be no bad, but then ruined any good work she had done with the last episode Dr Donna pish..

    Tennant was amazing, too good not tae watch just cos o Tate..
